Went in there twice this trip and it needs time to develop IMHO.
Danny mentioned (After telling me there were only two blokes who punched me in Little Aussie Bar when I was sure there were at least 10 like.....Cough!) that they had opened provisionally but had still to have a big opening do!
Girls as Nels said are not BF'able. The best looking girl in there is the cashier IMHO and unavailable to come out from behind the bar and sit on my lap for ten minutes which would have been enough.
Mentioned they were getting a new chef (Thai!) and training him to make big "Aussie" breakfasts by locking him in a room and brain-washing him with bacon and eggs and things, still hasn't happened, they had a few sad looking Aussie Pies in a warming oven on the bar which are OK for lining your stomach before a session but didn't look all that appetising to be honest.
Not sure if they have a happy hour but I guess they do. I didn't notice the price of my bottled Tiger or what draught beer they had! Sorry!
Girls are pleasant enough and wear a F1 type yellow with black and white chequered mini dress style uniform. Needs a few more of girls as it's a biggish bar downstairs or the ground floor and they spend a lot of time running up and down the stairs with drinks for the customers using the pool tables or watching the TV's.
Upstairs are the flatscreen tellys and pool table for the sporty types.
Dodger mentioned the SMS service you can sign up to whereby Danny will text you of any up-coming events (Melbourne Cup, F1, Rugby, Pool Night etc) which is a good idea. They opened early for the Melbourne and it looked a good crowd.
Music is too loud to watch the sport though and another BM mentioned to me that he went in to watch the Liverpool game and when he asked them to turn it down a bit to be able to watch the game he was ignored so they packed up and moved to Black Cats who know their customers and cater for them. So they got a gang of lads drinking for 2 hours or so, as opposed to the Aussie Bar.
Danny mentioned they had spent around 6.5 million on it and in time they may get into profit but for me, they need to work a bit harder at it before they get there.
A bit of a let down for me after quite a bit of pre-opening hype.
